Patents by Inventor Itai Carmeli

Itai Carmeli has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8624227
    Abstract: An optoelectronic device is disclosed. The device comprises one or more modified photocatalytic units, and a semiconductor surface. The modified photocatalytic unit is attached to the semiconductor surface such that when light is absorbed by the photocatalytic unit, an electric field is generated at sufficient amount to induce charge carrier locomotion within the semiconductor. In some embodiments a plurality of photocatalytic unit is attached to the semiconductor surface in oriented manner. The optoelectronic device can be operative in dry environment.

  • Publication number: 20110012096
    Abstract: A nanostructure comprising at least one semiconductor nanoparticle bound to a photocatalytic unit of a photosynthetic organism is disclosed. The nanoparticle and a binding between the nanoparticle and the photocatalytic unit are selected such that transfer of electrons from the photocatalytic unit to the nanoparticle is prevented or suppressed relative to transfer of excitons from the nanoparticle to the photocatalytic unit. Uses of same and methods of fabricating devices with same are also disclosed. Nanostructures comprising electrically conductive nanoparticles are also disclosed.
